‘Heroes’ faces off with ‘24′
Cory Bergman January 22nd, 2007
So, which show did you watch live? Which did you record? In a primetime showdown, NBC’s Heroes and Fox’s 24 aired head-to-head at 9 p.m. last night. And if you watched Hereos, you saw a URL (PrimaTechPaper.com) and a phone number on a business card. Both work, and there’s plenty of discussion online about how to come up with the code to delve deeper into the site. It’s all part of NBC’s TV 360 strategy to energize fans from TV to the web and back again. Update: The ratings are in, and Heroes beat 24.

And I watched 24, but I saw most of the first set of Heroes online and unless they suddenly decide to mess with me, it’s how I plan to watch the rest of the season.

Jack Bauer doesn’t need super powers…

You have to pick which show to record? I recorded both.

i watched heroes. 24 is just better to me when it’s on DVD and you can watch the hours back to back.
a co-worker tells me that the code to get in the website is MP36…he got it when he called the phone number on the business card. i haven’t tried to see if that code works though.

watched (and recorded) heroes, recorded 24. 24 sucks if you can’t fast forward through the commercials. plus, the show is frustrating in a way that no other show is.

I started “24″ five minutes late and caught up to live by the second commercial break. Watched “Heroes” after that. Then “Studio 60.”

Not even superheroes should try to go up against Jack Bauer.
